Lottery winners
1. Calgary Flames
2. Buffalo Sabres
Round 1
1. Macklin Celebrini (Calgary Flames) (Details: Flames are one of the ideal teams that could use Celebrini. They need a top C and are very early in their rebuild.).
2. Artyom Levshunov (Buffalo Sabres) (Details: Sabres badly need a RHD in their system and picking at 11 might have them missing out.).
3. Cayden Lindstrom (San Jose Sharks) (Details: Risky 3rd overall pick, but Lindstrom gives them a possible 2C behind Will Smith, if he can stay healthy.).
4. Ivan Demidov (Chicago Blackhawks) (Details: A top-line skilled winger to play with Bedard in the future. Likely who they're already targeting at 2.).
5. Zayne Parekh (Anaheim Ducks) (Details: Fills the RHD need, tons of skill on the backend. Could be a star.).
6. Berkly Catton (Columbus Blue Jackets) (Details: They hope he can be a C, but even if he can't, he will still have an offensive impact.).
7. Zeev Buium (Arizona Coyotes) (Details: They don't currently have a future QB. Buium is looking like he'll be a really good one.).
8. Konsta Helenius (Montreal Canadiens) (Details: A very Montreal-esque pick. Habs are stacked with young D, grab the best forward on the board.).
9. Carter Yakemchuk (Ottawa Senators) (Details: Another team that desperately needs a RHD in their system, relieved that Yak is still on the board.).
10. Sam Dickinson (Seattle Kraken) (Details: Seattle has yet to pick a D with their 1st round picks so it's time. It helps that he's easily the BPA.).
11. Cole Eiserman (New Jersey Devils) (Details: NJ is where I keep seeing Eiserman landing. He's a risky pick but they're the team to try it.).
12. Anton Silayev (Philadelphia Flyers) (Details: I'd be surprised if Silayev is still available at 12 in real life, and so would Philly.).
13. Tij Iginla (Minnesota Wild) (Details: Iggy could end up going higher, but he definitely won't get past the Wild.).
14. Michael Brandsegg-Nygård (San Jose Sharks from Pittsburgh Penguins) (Details: Nice hard-working, two-way, speedy winger with a great shot.).
15. Liam Greentree (Detroit Red Wings) (Details: Great combo of size and scoring, just needs to get quicker.).
16. Michael Hage (Washington Capitals) (Details: Fast, skilled centre is climbing the rankings.).
